No Such Thing with Krysta Huber
Operation Podcast
There’s no such thing as one right way to do life. No Such Thing is a podcast hosted by Krysta Huber — marketing strategist and coach — about the overlap between work, health, and the rest of life that happens in between. Each episode is a look at how we build habits, make decisions, and lead ourselves through the parts of life that don’t fit into clean categories. Some weeks it’s something practical. Other weeks, it’s the kind of reminder that lands when you need it most — that you don’t have to burn everything down to make a change, and you don’t have to have everything figured out.

THE FYX 131: 3 Years of THE FYX Podcast: Ditching Balance and Embracing the Basics
We are CELEBRATING 3 YEARS OF THE FYX this week--in a really big way. Coach Krysta is ringing in 3 years and over 130 episodes with a solo episode where she reflects on the journey over the past three years, and opens up about her own personal fitness journey in the last 12 months. In this episode, Krysta highlights how important it is to be okay with being a beginner again. She also explains why the idea of balance really isn't possible--namely, when we have certain priorities, some responsibilities just have to take precedence over other--and there's nothing wrong with that. Krysta shares that so many Fitness FYX clients identify with putting themselves last, specifically because they are overloaded with so many other priorities and responsibilities. Krysta challenges the idea of putting yourself last as a "badge of honor," and urges you to consider the following:- You already have all of the skills and tools you need to be successful in your fat loss routine- You DO NOT need to completely drop your health and wellness "ball" that you're juggling, rather you can lower its position on the totem poll- The basics are not only required to achieve fat loss, but mastering them actually makes it easier to commit to a plan for forever- Why your all-or-nothing mindset is leading you to self-sabotage- Why your all-or-nothing mindset is convincing you that you're going to fail with your fat loss goal- How coaching, support, and accountability will guarantee your success- That it's okay to be afraid of failure, but it's not okay to allow that fear to prevent you from taking action

THE FYX 130: Embracing Self-Care: Your Shield Against Burnout with Mindset Expert Annette Weiss
Coach Krysta sits down with Mindset Coach Annette Weiss to talk all things burn out, finding your purpose in the world, and leading from a place of intentional selfishness in order to be your absolute BEST version of YOU. Growing up in organized religion, spending time as a women’s ministry director, 20+ years of being an entrepreneur, and mentoring new business owners in mindset development, Annette firmly believed that being “selfless” and putting other’s needs before her own was the proper common denominator for her life. In 2021, after the consecutive loss of her two most influential mentors, her parents, she came to the abrupt end of life as she knew it. Little did she know that with her selfless mindset, combined with various life traumas, it would lead to complete burn out. She then put her years of leadership to work and began the exhilarating journey of self-discovery. Today, Annette uses her combined experiences, passion and expertise to teach and equip others how to break their habitual cycles, set personal and/or business goals, and lean into the freedom of living the life they have always dreamed of.In this episode, Krysta and Annette discuss:- Why women tend to pour from an empty cup, especially as mom's, and the societal messaging that contributes to that mentality being the "right thing" to do- How losing both of her parents within less than a year of one another led to Annette's own burn out- How Annette found herself again--specifically the daily routines and habits she incorporated to create better boundaries in her life. These habits include: waking up early, journaling, and exercise, to name a few- Annette's willingness to go through what she calls her mental 'filing cabinet' and why you should do the same to face your traumas head-on- Why doing the DEEP WORK matters and can be so transformative in changing your future, and outlook on life- Understanding self-care as mindset work, facing your traumas--not just the cold plunges, massages, saunas, and so on...- Annette's experience having a distinct spirtual moment with God, Universe, Source (what you believe is irrelevant to the work you can do in your life) that completely changed the course of her life- Annette's experience with writing a bookApply for 1:1 Coaching with The Fitness FYX: CLICK HERE

THE FYX 128: Want the Best Results? Align your Training and Rehab with Your Specific Goals feat. Dr. Mike Bruno
Coach Krysta is joined by Dr. Mike Bruno, owner of Nav Rehab Chiropractic in Brielle, NJ. Dr. Mike is a licensed chiropractor, athletic trainer and movement specialist. Mike prioritizes the long-term health of his clients while keeping them in the driver's seat with your healthcare decisions. Much like The Fitness FYX, Nav Rehab is all about the balance between longevity and empowerment.
What stood out to us about Mike's philosophy is how much he encourages his patients to stay active throughout the process of working with him. Mike wants his clients learn how to move in a way that is easy-to-understand, and aims to have them leave with the skills, tools, and confidence to fix future problems on their own.
In this episode, Mike and Krysta discuss:
- Mike's career path from high school athlete to athletic trainer, and ultimately, chiropractor
- Why it's important for your recovery practices, injury prevention, and injury management to mimic the movements you desire to engage in in every day life and your training
- How necessary it is to get clear on your goals, especially when you have multiple goals with methods that can compete with one another
- The benefit to working with a coach, trainer, chiropractor in order to develop an effective game plan that gets you the results you desire as fast and as efficiently as possible
- Why rehab-style exercises should be enjoyable for clients, in order to maintain consistency

THE FYX 127: Why DOING Matters More than Your WILL to Lose Weight
Anyone can TRY to lose weight and change their physique, but not everyone really makes an effort. In this solo episode, Coach Krysta breaks down the difference between WILL power and DO power. In a conversation with The Fitness FYX 1:1 coaching clients, The FYX community discusses:
- Why will power isn't "enough" to actually change your lifestyle
- How we define 'DO power' --aka actually following through and executing
- Why DO power is required in making changes to your lifestyle that will help you lose body fat, and more importantly, keep it off.
- How both DO power and will power are stronger inside of a community of aligned people, all working toward common goals and supporting one another

THE FYX 125: It's NOT Your Diet, it's How You're Handling Life Transitions
Do you really need to learn how much protein to consume in order to lose body fat? Is it just your going out to eat and drinks on the weekends that are preventing you from actually losing the weight, feeling confident in your clothes, and looking good year-round? Not exactly--yet that's what we all fixate on. And by we, I even mean professionals in this industry:
In this solo episode, Coach Krysta shares a recent recording from one of The Fitness FYX 1:1 Tuesday night group coaching calls, where the entire 1:1 client community joins us on Zoom to discuss a different topic every single week. This week's is all about LIFE TRANSITIONS. Think about--what interrupts your ability to consistently hit a protein goal, or regularly get to the gym? It's not the actual fitnes stuff--it's the life stuff: It's moving; it's kids activities; it's your job; it's family obligations; it's dinner with friends. All good things (most of the time, hopefully). Yet, we put all of our energy into the doing of the habits required to get to our weight loss goals. While that's necessary of course, it begs the question: is our mindset centered on the right stuff?
Coach Krysta shares how much she questions this idea when clients tend to fall off or leave the program due to busyness and overwhelm. In reality, that's actually THE BEST time to lean into a coach's support and accountability. Looking for that support in your life? The holiday season is upon us and it's ALWAYS a busy one.

THE FYX 122: Why You Should Tailor Your Training & Nutrition to Your Specific Goals with Brian Bott
Coach Krysta is joined in studio this week with guest Brian Bott. Brian is a fellow Jersey resident (who also loves Rook Coffee just as much as Coach Krysta), and founder of two fitness studios in Rumson and Colts Neck NJ: Aspire Fitness. Aspire's mission to create an environment and culture that best promotes the success of each of its members.

Aspire set out to make a change and deliver clients the programming they need for REAL, lasting results. Every member at Aspire Fitness is a VIP. Whether you just take group classes, train privately 4 times per week with a coach, or are just dropping in for a workout with a friend, Aspire guarantees that its coaches and staff are there to make sure you are getting closer to your goals.
In this episode, Krysta and Brian discuss:
- How the fitness and wellenss industry has elvolved to make it harder and more confusing to lose weight and get strong
- Why it's absolutely necessary to support clients in getting clear on their goals
- What makes the Aspire Fitness model different
- How to build training programs around a client's specific goals
- How to support clients in taking a flexible approach to nutrition and fitness--in a way that maintains achievable weight loss and fat loss goals
- Understanding fitness and nutrition in terms of seasons of life
- The idea that balance isn't realistic, but instead we have areas of life where we make specific investments, and understand that attention to those investments change
- Why nutrition and fitness go hand in hand
